INSTALLATION OF THE OVEN
The regulations covering the installation,
maintenance and operation of gas appliances for
domestic use are applicable regulations.
Positioning
The products of combustion from cooking
appliances must always be discharged into
suitable extractor hoods, which must be connected
to a chimney, flue or vented directly to outside the
building.
In situations where it is not possible to install an
extractor hood, an electric extractor fan installed in
a window or external wall may be used, provided
that all requirements of the ventilation regulations
are satisfied; the fan should switch on whenever
the appliance is in operation.
Ventilation of the room
It is essential that the room in which gas
appliances are installed is adequately ventilated to
ensure that all the appliances receive the required
quantity of fresh air for combustion.
To ensure an adequate air flow, it may be
necessary to create apertures in accordance with
the following requirements:
x
With cross-sectional area of 6 cm² per kW
with a minimum cross-sectional area of
100 cm² (these apertures may also be
created by increasing the gap between the
bottom of doors and the floor),
x
Situated at the bottom of an external wall,
preferably opposite the wall on which
combustion products are extracted,
x
The positions of the apertures should
selected so as to avoid the possibility of
their being obstructed and, if made in
external walls, they must be protected with
grilles, metal meshes, etc. installed on the
outside face of the wall.
If an electric extractor fan for the removal of foul air
is installed in the room, the apertures provided for
air changes must allow a ventilation rate of at least
35 m³/h per kW of power installed.
